Before committing to the Baylor Bears last August, Killeen, Texas forward Cory Jefferson was considered among the top 150 in the country by Rivals.com.

Since then the Central Texas big man has seen his game expand, showing what the likes of Kansas St., Marquette, Oklahoma, Texas A&M, and Arizona saw in him. As a result he has continued his rise up the rankings, adding his fifth star in the latest release of the 2009 Rivals 150.
